Frequently asked questions

In uncomplicated cases most people go home within a day or two and return to routine activity within about a week.

Many patients notice improved control once the rectum is secured, although recovery of full function can take time after long-standing prolapse.

After keyhole repair, most people resume desk work within one to two weeks and heavier activity a little later.

The procedure is quick and well-tolerated, with rapid pain relief and a very high cure rate in experienced hands.

Modern laser and stapled techniques are far less painful than traditional surgery, and most patients return to routine within a few days.

It is quick and well-tolerated, performed under sedation or with a throat spray. Most people remember little of it and recover within an hour.

Keeping stools soft with fibre, fluids and good toilet habits is the most effective way to prevent recurrence.

A high-fibre diet, plenty of fluids, regular exercise and avoiding prolonged straining greatly reduce recurrence.

After gallbladder removal, most people return to a completely normal diet within weeks — start low-fat, then reintroduce foods gradually.

Strangulation occurs when trapped tissue loses its blood supply — a surgical emergency signalled by sudden severe pain, a hard lump and vomiting.

An untreated appendix can burst, spreading infection in the abdomen — a far more serious condition than early appendicitis.

Untreated stones can cause infection, jaundice, pancreatitis, or — over years — raise gallbladder cancer risk, so symptomatic stones should be treated.
